My research focuses on understanding how the brain processes visual information to guide flexible behavior. I use electrophysiological, psychophysical, and computational techniques to study how the primate visual system processes objects (presented on a screen) and how inferences about those objects are mapped to behavioural outputs in different environmental, cognitive, and task conditions. During my Ph.D. in the labs of Drs. Ed Connor and Kristina Nielsen, I studied how 3D object information is extracted from 2D images. I brought my experience with algorithms to generate parameterised, naturalistic 3D objects to my postdoc in the lab of Dr. Marlene Cohen. The broad goal of my research programme is to understand how our visual brain enables us to interact flexibly with our world by inferring relevant properties of 3D objects in naturalistic environments.
